Old Coastguard Cottage

Wake up to sweeping coastal views stretching from Rame Head to Dodman Point in this charming seaside retreat, perched just 50 yards above Downderry Beach.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Downderry, this cosy single-storey cottage is only a minute’s stroll from the sandy beach, where rock pools are revealed at low tide. The village pub and restaurant are just around the corner, making it easy to enjoy relaxed evenings close to home.

Originally built in the early 1800s as part of the old coastguard station, the cottage retains its timeless character, with whitewashed walls and a traditional Delabole slate roof. Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming space, ideal for couples or a small family seeking a peaceful coastal escape.

For those who love the outdoors, coastal walks lead to the neighbouring village of Seaton in around 20 minutes, while golf and diving are available nearby. The popular seaside town of Looe (6 miles) and the picturesque harbour village of Polperro (10 miles) offer charming shops, cafés and boat trips. A visit to the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary, less than 10 minutes away, makes for a memorable day out.

Whether you’re seeking lazy beach days, scenic coastal adventures, or simply a place to unwind with the sound of the sea, this delightful Cornish cottage is the perfect base for your next holiday.
